These comparisons are made, not to de-
tract from the enduring fame of others,
but to put Napoleon to the severest test.

Napoleon was bred at Stony Ford-made

Jerome Eddy, dropped II foal in 1875.
Myrtle, from standard dam, was foaled
in 1875; and all told, to the close of 1886,
Napoleon has but thirty-four foals from

so, and only eleven of this number were
bred by other persons than Messrs. Dewey

Fanny Mapes, and save Jerome Eddy

the Sergeant-at-arms of both
Houses procured the stationery for

it by the dray load, and when it
was piled up in an ante-room the
members went in and took what
they wanted. Desiring to be agree
able. each Sergeant-at-arms would
buy all sorts of pretty things in the
stationery line and then invite
members to come around and in

a BIG GALE
The Heaviest Wind Known Here
for Years.

The heaviest gale for years is
passing over Carson at the present
writing. 1t opened up about two
o'clock yesterday morning and in
creased in fury until o'clock
when it was at its height. 1t then
amounted to little short of tor
nado. The gale came from the
Southeast and was of the uncertain
and gusty order. There seemed to
be numberless air currents min
Cling and whisking as if each were
trying to beat the other in reaching
Virginia City. Often times the
space where one was standing
would be perfectly calm while the
trees and bushes few yards away
would be quivering with the spasms
Of the tempest and hardly able to
hold their roots in the ground.
Everything movable went with the
wind, and considerable property
was materially damaged. In Wa
shoe county the hay was blown out
of the rlcks and the telegraph poles
leveled to the ground. In the
vicinity of Genoa a good deal of
hay was blown away and places
badly damaged. All day heavy
bank of clouds appeared just over
the mountains on the West but
came no further and the question
was frequently asked why the
clouds did not advance in such
wind. The explanation is that the
strongest line of wind was just at
the edge of the mountains and the
pressure of the air kept the clouds
down. If an upward pressure
from below lifted the clouds the
vapor was whirled into nothing as
soon as the wind caught it. Old
timers say that they never saw
such a wind blow so long in this
section.
Several lights of glass on the
West side of the public school
house were blown in, also some
thick plate glass in the Assembly
chamber. The damage in Virginia
City was quite extensive.
